Analyze your own data

To prepare your scRNA-seq data for use within CellWhisperer, follow these simple steps:

  1. Generate an h5ad file containing raw reads and a gene_name var column
  2. Run our single-command processing pipeline
  3. Start the CellWhisperer-integrated CELLxGENE Explorer
For details on these steps, refer to the "Analysis of new datasets with CellWhisperer" section in our README.
